I will be going to this sale looks good and I like Thainestone very friendly sale and buttery rowies with your breakfast yum yum, Looks like a good selection of sheep breeds. It's a hectic sale so much going on at the same time. I wanted to enter some things in the items from a bygone era but they wanted me to have them there for the day before the sale, not practical but I will have a word and see if I can change this for people coming from a distance. No worries still a great sale. Who's going.

Hi Bigchicken, Posy and Tiramisu  are very well!!


I haven't formally weaned them in a separate field but they aren't really drinking any more from mum so should be fine to go. They are well grown little tanks!


Do you want me to PM you directions to us, I can't remember if I've done that! ?
